How to open FMPR file?
The most common problem when using FileMaker Pro Mac is that a specific FMPR is not associated with the program. This causes the file FMPR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMPR file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install FileMaker Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the FileMaker Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing FileMaker Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FMPR with FileMaker Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file FMPR.
Programs to open FMPR file
Remember to download programs supporting FMPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FMPR files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FMPR file still does not use the FileMaker Pro program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FMPR file with the FileMaker Pro program.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FileMaker Pro program with the FileMaker Pro Mac file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FileMaker, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMPR file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FMPR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FMPR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FMPR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FMPR files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FMPR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FileMaker, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMPR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FMPR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FMPR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FMPR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
